Jacqueline Dresch
Jackie Dresch received a B.A from SUNY Geneseo in 2006, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics and Quantitative Biology from Michigan State University in 2012. She has been at Clark since 2015. Professor Dresch’s research focuses on modeling transcriptional regulation in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster). She is interested in many topics at the interface of mathematics…

Robert Drewell
The research in my lab applies experimental molecular genomic, mathematical and computational approaches to investigate the regulation of gene expression during development. The major focus is on analyzing the epigenetic and regulatory networks that control transcription in the embryo in model insect species, including Drosophila and social insects.

Néva Meyer
Néva Meyer is an associate professor in the Biology Department at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. Her research addresses questions of annelid and spiralian development with the goal of gaining a better understanding of how animal body plans evolved and diversified, particularly nervous systems, which are animal innovations. Currently, it is not known if…

My research takes an integrative approach to studying the evolution and diversification of functional morphological systems. I am particularly interested in how form (phenotype) and function are related, and how these relationships are context-dependent in terms of habitat use and biotic interactions. Much recent work indicates that these relationships are complex, and understanding them is…

Kaitlyn Mathis
My research uses an integrated approach, combining observational studies, manipulative field experiments, chemical ecology techniques, and lab experiments to examine the dynamics of complex species interactions and how they are shaped by managed systems. Within the last 100 years, most theoretical and empirical research has examined populations, communities and ecosystems by identifying and studying individual…

Justin Thackeray
Professor Justin Thackeray is a geneticist whose current research interest lies in understanding mechanisms of growth factor signaling pathway regulation, using the model system Drosophila melanogaster. His main focus has been investigating phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma), which is a key regulator of receptor tyrosine kinases. Activating mutations of this enzyme are commonly found in many human…
